As we start to unpack the last few weeks, we’ve all agreed it feels like we’ve been here for an eternity already. At the same time, it is crazy to think we’ve only already been here a month! Time flies by, especially experiencing jet lag and a new culture. The first few nights we arrived…
I’m glad you’re here! My name is Riah Stroot (“Stroot” rhymes with “boat”) I believe the greatest way to inspire and reach our donors and people that want to be a part of our journey is to have access to our stories, thoughts, and media. That is what I am here for! The Davidson’s have…
